Special Feature: BABA Akira

After graduating from the Oil Painting Department at the Tokyo University of the Arts in 1955, Tokyo-born Akira Baba (1932-2000) started managing the Sato Gallery, established by Tomotaro Sato in Ginza, and was involved in the gallery-run projects until its closing in 1981. At the time solo exhibitions were garnering more attention than art group exhibitions (ex. Nitten and Nika-ten, etc.), and the Sato Gallery, along with other galleries such as Gallery Takemiya, became a venue for such exhibitions. Along with producing his own creations, Baba engaged in broad coverage of important artists in exhibitions that he organized, and can be said to have been a driving force in modern Japanese art during the 1960s and 1970s. Moving his studio to Akita City in 1989, Baba became an active artist within Tohoku as well.
This exhibition will feature the works of Baba which were all donated to the museum last year. They include 5 oil paintings in which he mainly used gray and expressed dry humor and eroticism. Also an 8-print set titled “Gray of Gray,” and several sketchbooks will be shown.
